Fab Lab

East Troy High School Fab Lab is recognized nationally and worldwide

The East Troy High School Fab Lab (Fabrication Laboratory) is recognized worldwide by FabFoundation, an organization started by at MIT. We are a member of the Fab Foundation and the United States Fab Lab Network. As of April 2017, the ETHS Fab Lab is one of five recognized Fab Labs in the state of Wisconsin. Fab Labs support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), but more importantly; these labs support creativity and innovation. A Fab Lab houses 3D printers, vinyl cutters, laser cutters and engravers, milling machine computer guided router, etc. The goal is to provide all students access to the tools that educate and supports innovation and thereby creates opportunities to improve lives and livelihoods around the world by planning, designing, and producing.

It is the goal of the East Troy School District to provide high quality learning environments that expose all of our children to these critical areas of learning - (critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration and content) and the most updated equipment that will support them as they learn, undo their learning, and relearn.
